The program will begin at 3 p.m. and admission is free. The planetarium, located on the second floor of the Cauthen Educational Media Center, will open its doors at 2:30 p.m., and no admittance will be allowed once viewing begins.

According to planetarium director Jeannette M. Myers, this program will examine the astronomical event that occurred around the time of the first Christmas.
